Oversized bill, neatly preened feathers and the poise of a true gentleman, this pelican has settled onto the toilet seat to work through its paper in perfect peace. The great pouch beneath its bill only heightens the solemn air of the whole performance. It turns the pages with disarming composure, as though reading in the loo were a well-rehearsed ritual. The clash between such a stately bird and the very ordinary bathroom setting raises a grin before you've even taken in the scene.

The illustration is part of our tongue-in-cheek bestiary devoted to all things feathered, ready to hang above the cistern or beside the basin to brighten the smallest room in the house. Bird enthusiasts and lovers of the improbable will spot it alongside our other Bird Posters, somewhere between deadpan herons and prankish waterfowl caught in unexpected moments.

A fine way to surprise a birdwatching friend or a relative who collects the improbable, with a grin all but guaranteed on every trip to the bathroom, and a genuine talking point for visitors who wander in.
